Metairie corpse found in home investigated as possible killing

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office is investigating the death of 67-year-old Metairie resident as a homicide.

At 11:28 a.m. Monday, deputies were dispatched to 4629 Grammar Ave. to check on an unclassified death, according to the Sheriff's Office. After entering the home, investigators suspected foul play, said Col. John Fortunato, a spokesman for the Sheriff's Office.

Investigators found David Goldberg lying on a bed in an upstairs bedroom in his home, Fortunato said.

The incident was reported by a male caller who said he had found his boss unresponsive in the residence.

Fortunato declined to explain why investigators suspect foul play.

The results of an autopsy, scheduled for Friday morning, may confirm whether the death is a homicide.

No other information was available immediately Monday.
